William A. Duncan, Esq, of Syracuse,
\. Y, Secretary of the Chautauqua Assem-
bly,, and superintendent of the grounds,
says that the fire of March Goth destroyed
tfty-five cottages al Chautauqua, bnt not
one public building. As there are over 200
cottages on the grounds, II will be seen
that. although none were rebuilt this spring,
il would not interfere in the least with the
perfect success of the season of 1857. Many
of the cottages burned were small and some
of them unused. Probably before the first
of July more than half of them will be re-
built with modern c0nvenences that will
add greatly "a the comfort of visitors, and
in short time Chautauqua will be far more
beautiful than ever. because of the proposed
improvements. The accommodations are
now ample for all the students and tourists
who desire TO visit Chautauqua this sum-
mer, and there will be no difference in the
price Of board and lodging. The new
School OF Language building is in the Moor
ish style of architecture, $50 feet long, three
stories high in the center with two story
wings. and will have ample accommoda-
tions for all tie c. 5. of l.. classes. II will
be completed by the first of July.
